SLA_H2FK5 - Hipparcos to FK5   

ACTION:

Transform a Hipparcos star position and proper motion into the FK5 (J2000) frame.

CALL:

CALL sla_H2FK5 (RH,DH,DRH,DDH,R5,D5,DR5,DD5)

GIVEN:

$$\alpha$$ RH

$$\delta$$ DH D

$$\alpha$$ DRH D

$$\delta$$ DDH D

RETURNED:

$$\alpha$$ R5

$$\delta$$ D5 D

$$\alpha$$ DR5 D

$$\delta$$ DD5 D

NOTES:

1.

The $\alpha$ proper motions are $\dot{\alpha}$ rather than $\dot{\alpha}\cos\delta$, and are per year rather than per century.

2.

The FK5 to Hipparcos transformation consists of a pure rotation and spin; zonal errors in the FK5 catalogue are not taken into account.

3.

The adopted epoch J2000.0 FK5 to Hipparcos orientation and spin values are as follows (see reference):

            

x -19.9      -0.30  

y -9.1      +0.60  

z +22.9      +0.70  

mas       mas/y 

These orientation and spin components are interpreted as axial vectors. An axial vector points at the pole of the rotation and its length is the amount of rotation in radians.
